As the sun sets on 2011…thank you to all my Anne on Fire blog readers. Between the champagne and your choice of revelry, please post a comment on what you would like to see written in 2012. For anyone interested, a summary of this year’s stats from the blog is compiled below.

Regular readers of Anne On Fire know there is no sponsor for this small blog. However, after six months of regular posts it seemed appropriate to take a commercial break from the storyline to update readers on a couple of things. First, we just hit our 3,000th view. This seems, well, ridiculously miniscule given all the big bloggers out there. But when Anne on Fire started, I wasn’t sure it would make it past its second post. Now, there have been dozens of posts (hopefully not too many but as in the story of the Three Bears, something “just right”) and more importantly,there have been more comments than posts. In fact, more than double the comments for each blog post. This either tells me people like to comment, or that there is a wonderful support network out there, or that maybe these posts hold the interest of our dear readers – or some combination of all of the above, none of the above or just some good stuff.

Also on the good news front, my critique professional “K” let me know she saw some hope in moving ahead with the Anne on Fire book. This is certainly encouraging and certainly means more work for me on that front and more posts to come as the blog continues to be the platform for research and an unfolding storyline.
